enforcing US ASCII limitation

[Craig Ede]

The FM10 manual states that FM internally uses UTF-8. Maybe knowing that
will help you in your single-sourcing to ASCII, assuming that FM to PDF is
not the problem.

"About Unicode
Unicode is an industry standard that allows computers to represent text in
most of the world's languages in a consistent way. It is implemented by
different character encodings, such as UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32. FrameMaker
supports all three encodings but stores files in UTF-8. If you import files
encoded in UTF-16 or UTF-32, FrameMaker automatically converts them to
UTF-8."

Subject: enforcing US ASCII limitation

Is there some way to restrict the character set in FM10 to US ASCII?

If not, how about a utility to check text files for invalid characters?

It's surprising to me how hard it is to single-source PDF and ASCII from the
same FM source.
